TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE Macrons over one or more characters are denoted by ̅ (utf8 hex0305); for example can̅ot and c̅o̅m̅andement. Macrons over one or more characters are denoted in the etext by {}, since most handhelds do not handle combining diacriticals properly; for example, ca{n}ot and {com}andement. A line of asterisks denotes omitted text. Thought breaks, and new sections, are denoted by blank lines or hr's (horizontal rules). Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. Punctuation or lack of it in the Appendix documents has been left unchanged. More detail can be found at the end of the book. HISTORY OF THE |
